Both the Knicks and Clippers are closing out disappointing seasons. Today, however, will not be a disappointment for New York when it takes down Los Angeles.
Our Sunday night NBA selection is on the New York Knicks on the road at Staples Center over the Los Angeles Clippers.
Although both of these teams are having disappointing seasons, the Clippers have played much worse than the New York Knicks of late. The Clips have dropped 14 of their last 16 games, and have covered the spread in just four of those games.

New York, on the other hand, is 10-10 ATS with two pushes over its last 22 games, so it has at least been fairly competitive.
The Knicks did lose by 11 at Golden State their last time out, but in that game forward David Lee had his first career triple-double with 37 points, 20 rebounds, and 10 assists! In so doing, he became the first NBA play with at least 30 points, 20 boards and 10 assists since the great Kareem Abdul-Jabbar accomplished the feat 34 years ago.
And Lee has played very well vs. the Clippers in the last three meetings, with 20 ppg and 12 rpg.
Recent meetings between these two squads have resulted in the Knickerbockers taking the money in four of the last six. That span includes two ATS wins for New York on the LA hardwood.
Look for New York to salvage the final game of its five game road trip with a blowout of the Clippers. Take New York.
